Bucket List

I'm alive!!! Tee hee. Did you miss me? I won't try to explain my absence other than to say, sometimes life keeps you from writing about it because you're busy living it. Also, I'm all caught up on my shows. ;P

Thanks to my endless imagination and inspiring job, I have a few new items as of today to add to my bucket list. Which made me think, maybe it's time to post an updated bucket list!

Things still to do before I die (and progress thus far):
1) Have a rip-roaring anniversary/vow renewal party with the hubs (any decadal or 25-year mark of our marriage will work)
2) Take the hubs to Europe (trip planned for May 2014!)
3) Visit all 7 continents (3 down, 4 to go)
4) Visit as many Frederick Law Olmsted Sr.-designed parks/landscapes as possible, including Yosemite (Central Park, Mount Royal, Prospect Park, Biltmore Estate, the U.S. Capitol Grounds, Delaware Park)
5) Take an overnight sailing trip
6) Go parasailing
7) Float/Raft the Grand Canyon
8) Tithe my income (i.e. donate 10% of my income to charity)
9) See a baby be born
10) Be with someone when they die
11) Do a silent retreat longer than 1 day
12) See the Northern Lights
13) Whitewater raft a class 3 or higher river
14) Ride 40 miles on my bike
15) Take a month off work
16) Volunteer in South America
17) Ride a horse on the beach
18) Buy a house
19) Own a dog
